Also the ISP of the engines is quite lower (Except for LH2 engines).

Too much complexity: Too many fuels, too many engine options.

If using a carefully tuned kOS script or similar automation, it can be brought down to 9,000m/s.

Low Earth Orbit (LEO) requires now 10,000m/s of DeltaV under manual control.

Real life it’s not only hard, it’s overwhelming. It’s too real to be “playable” or enjoyable in any sense.

Most rockets can be built to match specs and they perform quite close to the real ones.

Real Earth and Real Solar System replaces the Kerbol Solar system.
